I found some notes from when I was looking into the Priv at the end of last year. They lack detail, but maybe are a good starting point for someone.
* Root of trust: unique crypto keys at the hardware level: Somehow implemented in way that guarantees Blackberry through supply chain, they claim. Maybe Blackerry supplies own chipset, w/ key included?
* Verified Boot and Secure Bootchain: Verifies integrity of all layers, from hardware to software. Uses hashes, crypto signatures
* hardened Linux kernel with numerous patches and configuration changes to improve security
* FIPS 140-2 compliant full disk encryption for data and applications
* Monthly updates through the Google Play store (only?)
* DTEK: "a single dashboard to monitor and control application access to your microphone, camera, location and personal information."
* Can customize each app's privacy settings, like in Android 6
